Space Soldiers beat Misfits in Atlanta

Space Soldiers are now 2-1 at the ELEAGUE Major Main Qualifier after defeating Misfits 16-13 on Train.

The match kicked off with the North American side winning the Terrorist pistol thanks to a fast ivy push, and following that up with the next two rounds. In the first gun round, Space Soldiers were set to retake the B bombsite and grab their first on the board, but a crucial molotov from Sean "⁠seang@res⁠" Gares denied the CTs from defusing the bomb.

That would not crush Space Soldiers' hopes, and Engin "⁠MAJ3R⁠" Küpeli's men started tightening up their defense to eventually get to the lead, 5-4, with an ace from Ismailcan "⁠XANTARES⁠" Dörtkardeş. It was then that Misfits called a tactical pause, which propelled the North Americans to take control of proceedings once again.

Still, a shoddy B execution from Misfits marked the beginning of a four-round streak from Space Soldiers, who would switch to the T-side with a 9-6 lead.

XANTARES was one of the key figures for Space Soldiers

Misfits started off the second half with yet another successful pistol to eventually bring the deficit to a minimum, 8-9. In a third-round buy, Space Soldiers got back to winning ways much thanks to two quick entry-kills from Ahmet "⁠paz⁠" Karahoca.

Nevertheless, Hunter "⁠SicK⁠" Mims and co. immediately responded in the next round, and followed that up with two more. From there on out, however, Space Soldiers came up huge, losing only two rounds before locking down the map 16-13.

Really ? I am a fan of Misfits, but I was worried that SS's invidualities would come out, and they did Pretty sad for them but they'll be able to bring the score around to reach 3-2, pretty sure. Misfits have the capacities

I would have felt really confident if the team had that 2-1 even if big names like FaZe (or NaVi soon) would also be 2-1, let's hope for QBF now (would be easier than Sprout or NV maybe, but yeah NV looked shaky as well but still, AVANGAR if they beat F3 is not gonna be easy IMO, they scored 12 rounds vs Mouz which is great).

"XANTARES was one of the key figures for Space Soldiers" Dont get me wrong, xantares played good. But for me its was paz/calyx all the way on T side.

Calyx true mvp in this match. Good to see everyone from SS doing their part. I really enjoy watching this guys play. #RUNSS I was pissed that these teams were matched against each other, cuz I want to see them both in the major, but it ended up being a really good match.

RIP Misfits. Mediocre match from them. SpaceSoldiers has really good individualities that happened to turn the games around. If they do qualify, they entirely deserve it, GG to them (but rip my pickem's)

Beating AVATAR and Misfits and are now close to a major. It’s like qualifying for a tier3 lan (by looking at their opponents), but now it’s for a major .. Hopefully they’ll get some good opponents as well.
